| How the non-metallic and metallic properties of elements in rows change:
a) carbon → silicon → germanium,
b) aluminum → silicon → phosphorus?
How is this related to the fact that crystalline silicon is a semiconductor, like germanium?
a) metallic properties increase
b) non-metallic properties grow
Silicon and germanium are semiconductors, because are the floor of the metals located in the periodic table at the interface between metals and non-metals.
